A billionaire is 1000x wealth of a millionaire.

A millionaire is 1000x the wealth as someone with a thousand bucks.

As someone closer to a net worth closer to $1000, it sure is funny watching the rich millionaires complain about the rich billionaires.

I bet the millionaires don't think the wealth transfers and confiscation they support for the billionaires, will ever be applied to them.

It really is an error in calculating. That's the great thing about math, it doesn't care how you 'feel' or what you 'wanted to express'.

You need to update your comment and the error will be gone and not try to argue semantics.
